Maybe a touch of overkill
So … I finished my first project since the shoulder surgery. I’m not by any means all the way back to full strength, especially in certain shoulder-heavy moves (like lifting my arm?), but I have enough two-handed ability to be safe with power tools and handle limited stock sizes. I thought ahead for this, maybe too much, and decided my first projects should be small, simple, useful things for around the house. First on the list was a box to hold tea. Right now we have a myriad of different teas in different boxes and the counter...

I wanted to do something for my physical therapists, because they’ve been really good to me this year. (And, though they don’t know it yet, we’re not as done as they think. More on that later.) They often play classical music, so I figured why not make them a coat rack shaped like a (partial) piano keyboard? I’ve seen similar coat racks, and there are even a couple on Pinterest that adopt the piano theme. This one would be modest in size, only incorporating about an octave and a half for a finished length of just over...
read moreBelt Rack
This is a quick project I did with some scrap wood, just for myself. Belt rack, finished and in place I didn’t even realize this would work, so there are no in-progress photos. It’s made of two pieces of scrap — one cherry about 8″ x 12″ and one walnut about 10″ x 5″. Starting with the walnut, I measured one of my belts — it was 5/64″ thick — and cut slots with my regular table saw blade, raised about 2-3/4″, and equally spaced to make nine slots. But the squareness of it felt...
read moreMore Bathroom Accessories
Yep, I still have two more things to do: we need a new toilet paper holder and a new towel rack. And in the process I need to solve the problems we have with the current ones. The toilet paper holder is something I did on the CNC a few years ago, and it works fine still. But it’s cherry, and Julie has a hard time squeezing the spring-loaded bar to take out and replace the roll. So I need to design a new one that will not require squeezing, and make it from walnut. The towel bars are something we bought years and years ago. There’s...
read moreWalnut Trash Can
I know — the first two questions on some people’s minds would be why make a trash can, and why use walnut for something utilitarian? And I admit I don’t really have a good answer, other than the other accessories I’ve made for this new bathroom are all walnut, and I’ve never made a trash can before, so why not? Actually, to make the first one I probably should have used some cheap wood that I wouldn’t be upset about wasting. But I didn’t; I dove in the deep end. This was another one that I...
read moreMatthew & Jenny’s End Table
It started with this One day in October a neighbor came over with a request: he had a cookie (ie, a radial segment cut from a log) from a hickory tree, and he wondered if I could make it into and end table. The idea was to make it a Christmas gift for his son and his new wife. As it happened, I had just recently gotten some hickory from Woodworker’s Source to make the underpinnings of my new table top, and I had ordered a lot of spare. So I had the stock on hand and no particular plans for it. I agreed, and got to work on it shortly...
read moreBathroom vanity, epilog
I wasn’t going to do a post about the actual vanity installation, but I kind of have to. It was a lot more involved (read: difficult) than we thought, and some of that was my inadvertent doing and goes back to the design of the new vanity. So, on the off chance that anybody is actually reading this, let’s share some lessons learned. First, let me show you the original bathroom, with the cheap original equipment vanity and sinks: The OG vanity It’s pretty crappy. All particle board except for the doors and face frame, no...

As a said before, I’m farming out the drawer boxes, so once I had my carcass done I only had drawer fronts and cabinet doors to do. I started with the doors. The plan is for a European-style frameless cabinet with full inset doors and drawers, hence my putting thick edging on all the plywood. I wanted a fairly tight reveal on things, typically 1/16″. First up, I milled the stock for the frames. Rather than mitering corners I went with a modified Shaker style, with stiles the whole height of the door and rails within. Simple stub...
read moreBathroom Vanity, part 1
Every year we try to do something nice for our house. Last year it was replacing the furnace, upgrading all the insulation, and adding the mini-split to the garage. Other years it’s been a new bedroom set (detail in King Bed in Cherry and Walnut, design and more), or replacing carpets with wood floors. This year, we want to get rid of the aged, builder cheap, double sink and vanity in our bathroom and upgrade to a new, nicer walnut vanity with a granite top. SketchUp model of the carcase for the vanity I browsed a lot of pictures on...
read moreUsing up Scraps (2)
I did another quickie project using wood and supplies already on hand. This one is going in the bedroom to be used as a low bedside table, but in form it is actually a one-person bench. Again, there is no drawing for this, it was a complete ad-lib. I drew inspiration from The Wood Whisperer, who recently did a long bench with the aprons crossed like this. I had several largish cutoffs of cherry and a 4-inch wide piece of curly maple to work with that was several feet long. Since the maple was already planed to 3/4 inch I left it that way and...
